What to do with the Encrypted but Unprotected Status?

Hi everyone! We have two Windows devices showing the BitLocker status in the Hexnode portal as "Encrypted but unprotected." I found this article: “Protect Verification Key for BitLocker Encryption” suggesting we might need to modify our Windows policy to address this issue.

Hi team, we are enrolling our Windows devices using Hexnode portal. We expect the users to authenticate it using their Google credentials during enrollment, but devices are getting enrolled under default user instead. Is there any configuration required to enable Google Authentication?

MSI vs EXE for native deployment

We’re standardizing Windows app deployments in Hexnode. Simple question: if a vendor gives you both MSI and EXE, which one are you picking? I’m leaning MSI but one of our guys prefers EXE because “it just works.” Curious to know what you guys are doing.

Hi all, a customer reached out asking if it’s possible to block safe mode boot through policy. They’re using kiosk mode, and they’re concerned that users could bypass restrictions by booting into safe mode. Has anyone dealt with this before?

Query on BitLocker startup screen

Hi Team, I’m working with a customer who requires BitLocker encryption on Windows devices. The key requirement is that the BitLocker startup screen must be the first prompt after powering on the devices, and the user must enter a PIN before the Windows login screen appears. Encryption is completed successfully, but after reboot, the device goes straight to the Windows login screen and…

BIOS Passwords--is it really important for Windows Security?

We already enforce BitLocker, Secure Boot, TPM, and endpoint protection across our Windows devices. Is a BIOS admin password really necessary, or is it just extra hardening?

Ability to choose color of device details on wallpapers

There is currently no option to change the font color for device details. Would it be possible to please allow for that to be something that we can change? The default red is too bright.

As an admin user, I'd like the ability to control Windows firewall settings by policy instead of through scripts so that we can automate and standardize our firewall settings.
